Pedagogia hospitalar: conhecendo o campo de atuação do/a pedagogo/a

Abstract

This final paper addresses the theme Hospital Pedagogy: Knowing the pedagogue's field of action. The interest in the subject arose from the need to understand what functions the hospital pedagogue performs and how this professional is trained. The general objective of this study is to get to know the hospital educator's field of action through the analysis of research carried out on Hospital Pedagogy in Brazil. As specific objectives, this research sought to contemplate the history of Hospital Pedagogy in the country, its legal support, theoretical support and obtain an updated view on the state of knowledge in relation to the subject. To achieve the proposed objectives, we used a systematic literature review as a methodology, surveying the current situation of research on the subject. The research source used was the CAPES Theses Bank (Sucupira Platform). Three research descriptors were used to carry out the data collection, namely: “Hospital Pedagogy”, “Hospital Class” and “Hospital Toy Library”. The theoretical studies, associated with the analysis of the research found, allow us to infer that hospital pedagogy is still a developing area in the country, the knowledge around it needs to be intensified, given the fact that a low number of academic productions was found. related to the area, especially in the North and Northeast regions. Given this scenario, the opportunity arises to carry out new research on the area, in order to popularize knowledge about it and demand from the public authorities the creation of new hospital classes and the maintenance of classes that are already in operation, allowing a greater space for performance for the hospital pedagogue.
